The purpose of this paper is to close the remaining gaps in the understanding of the role that the constrained generalized continuous algebraic Riccati equation plays in singular linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control. Indeed, in spite of…

Tao and Vu showed that every centrally symmetric convex progression $C\subset\mathbb{Z}^d$ is contained in a generalised arithmetic progression of size $d^{O(d^2)} \# C$. Berg and Henk improved the size bound to $d^{O(d\log d)} \# C$. We…

Existence and uniqueness of the scattering solutions is proved for a class of bounded rough obstacles which is much larger than the class of Lipschitz obstacles. Integral equations method is not used. The approach is based on the…

We derive sharp bounds for the accuracy of approximate eigenvectors (Ritz vectors) obtained by the Rayleigh-Ritz process for symmetric eigenvalue problems. Using information that is available or easy to estimate, our bounds improve the…

In this short paper, we prove that the Bochner integral form of the operator-valued Riccati equation has a unique solution if and only if its mild form has a unique solution. This implies that the mild and Bochner integral forms of this…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, $A\,:\,X\rightarrow Y$ and $B,\,C\,:\,Y\rightarrow X$ be bounded linear operators. We prove that if $A(BA)^2=ABACA=ACABA=(AC)^2A,$ then $$\sigma_{*}(AC)\setminus\{0\}=\sigma_{*}(BA)\setminus\{0\}$$ where…

We establish spectral convergence results of approximations of unbounded non-selfadjoint linear operators with compact resolvents by operators that converge in generalized strong resolvent sense. The aim is to establish general assumptions…

An operator Riccati equation from systems theory is considered in the case that all entries of the associated Hamiltonian are unbounded. Using a certain dichotomy property of the Hamiltonian and its symmetry with respect to two different…

Let A(x) be a holomorphic family of bounded self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space H and let A(x)_n be the orthogonal compressions of A(x) to the span of first n elements of an orthonormal basis of H. The problem considered…

We show that axially symmetric solutions on $\mathbb{S}^4$ to a constant $Q$-curvature type equation (it may also be called fourth order mean field equation) must be constant, provided that the parameter $\alpha$ in front of the Paneitz…

This research expository article contains a survey of earlier work (in \S2--\S4) but also contains a main new result (in \S5), which we first describe. Given $c \geq 0$, the spectral operator $\mathfrak{a} = \mathfrak{a}_c$ can be thought…

For $\xi \in \big(0, {1/2} \big)$, we denote by $E_{\xi}$ the perfect symmetric set associated to $\xi$, that is $$ E_{\xi} = \Big\{\exp \big(2i \pi (1-\xi) \dsp \sum_{n = 1}^{+\infty} \epsilon_{n} \xi^{n-1} \big) : \epsilon_{n} = 0…

Let $A_\N$ be the symmetric operator given by the restriction of $A$ to $\N$, where $A$ is a self-adjoint operator on the Hilbert space $\H$ and $\N$ is a linear dense set which is closed with respect to the graph norm on $D(A)$, the…

We study the asymptotic behavior of a bounded solution of an inhomogeneous delay linear difference equation in a Banach space by using the spectrum of bounded sequences. We get a significant extension of excellent results in [1]. A new…

E. B. Davies et B. Simon have shown (among other things) the following result: if T is an n\times n matrix such that its spectrum \sigma(T) is included in the open unit disc \mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\,|z|<1\} and if…

In this paper, we prove the existence of fixed points of mappings satisfying the condition (Da), a kind of generalized nonexpansive mappings, on a weakly compact convex subset in a Banach space satisfying Opial's condition. And we use…

We consider various closed (and self-adjoint) extensions of elliptic differential expressions of the type $\cA=\sum_{0\le |\alpha|,|\beta|\le m}(-1)^\alpha D^\alpha a_{\alpha, \beta}(x)D^\beta$, $a_{\alpha, \beta}(\cdot)\in…

It is proved recently by Benamara-Nikolski that a contraction having finite defects and spectrum not filling in the closed unit disc, is similar to a normal operator if and only if it has the so-called linear resolvent growth property. We…

The present work provides a definitive answer to the problem of quantifying relaxation to equilibrium of the solution to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for Maxwellian molecules. The beginning of the story dates back to a…

We show that if $X$ is a reflexive Banach space, then a nonautonomous operator Riccati integral equation has a unique strongly continuous self-adjoint nonnegative solution $P(t)\in\mathcal{L}(X,X^*)$
